Give Australian wildlife a fighting chance against bird flu
H5 bird flu is already here and it can't be stopped — but we can help our most vulnerable species survive outbreaks like it in the future. Add your name and call on the Government to fund a $200-million Wildlife Resilience Fund.

Take action today
Don’t let governments off the hook, help us call for real action that protects our natural environment from invasive species.
No country on Earth has parrots like ours. Of the 56 species found in Australia, 51 live nowhere else, from the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot to the swift parrot. Yet right now, the Australian Government is considering reopening the door to live parrot imports, and the deadly diseases that could come with them.

Australia’s wildlife is under attack. 365 days a year, 24 hours a day – invasive species are capturing and killing native animals, trashing and trampling protected areas and driving our wildlife closer to extinction.
